Yeah, I was about to post about that. I've been looking forward to Redder for a while.

It's pretty good for a platformer with no player actions other than jumping.

The level design is not anything to write home about, but for a game with such simple mechanics it at least kept my interest up until the 10th crystal so it must be doing something right.

The indiegaming blog mentions it having "real difficulty". I can't say I find the game very hard, I think a game any easier than this would just be boring. The learning curve is pretty decently handled though, with a nice exploratory area at the start that exposes the player to the switches and the shooty things leading into more slightly more dastardly shooty thing sequences.

I found the limited interaction with the enviroment to be sort of unsatisfying though.

From my cursorary attempt at playing it I give this game:

2/5

Yeah I got bored pretty quickly.

It starts slow, yeah, but it complicates later.

MY HIGH OCTANE INTERNET JET SET LIFESTYLE LEAVES ME LITTLE TIME TO PLAY A HALF HOUR GAME THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDED TO ME ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT HERE IS MY OPINION ANYWAY

Congratulations, dessgeega! I think you're a lock for 2010's "Most Likely to Cause Seizing in Epileptics" award.

YOU MUST CAPTURE THE PLAYER IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES

20% OF ALL USERS ARE LOST IN THE LOADING SCREEN

ZYNGA HAS CHARTS THAT PROVE THIS

How unfortunate, since this is probably my favorite game she's made yet.

yyler · « **Reply #249 on:** March 10, 2010, 03:12:54 PM »

I like it but I got kind of tired of doing the same kind of puzzle over and over and stopped

Niku · « **Reply #250 on:** March 10, 2010, 05:38:26 PM »

I got like five crystals and then I was like "well this is boring" so yeah, was not compelled to continue right at that moment, hope it saved my data!!

yyler · « **Reply #251 on:** March 10, 2010, 05:39:54 PM »

It does save it, actually

Niku · « **Reply #252 on:** March 10, 2010, 05:41:12 PM »

okay well then when i forget how it bored me i will probably get three more crystals and eventually i will finish the game this way

yyler · « **Reply #253 on:** March 10, 2010, 05:41:59 PM »

That's what I've been doing except more often now I open it and go "Oh yeah" and close it

Niku · « **Reply #254 on:** March 10, 2010, 10:30:54 PM »

okay i guess the endstuff was kinda cute but i stand by my "generally boring" stance.

also didn't find any secret areas, don't care.

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #255 on:** March 10, 2010, 10:54:34 PM »

Fishface is honestly more engaging to me and it only uses ONE BUTTON.

This game is pretty hard, but you get infinite lives and there's check points.

I just really like the level designs and scenery. Everything has this really great Technos or Konami look to it.

Niku · « **Reply #256 on:** March 11, 2010, 12:03:09 AM »

Yeah that was pretty cool except it's 2010 now can we please stop auto-fullscreening my monitor.

Still, neat game.

So I got all the gems in Redder!

Of course the real reward wasn't the ending, it was [spoiler]not making my eyes hurt anymore oh god oh god ow[/spoiler]
So what's this I hear about a secret area?

Envy · « **Reply #258 on:** March 11, 2010, 11:32:39 PM »

A bit late but.

Niku · « **Reply #259 on:** March 12, 2010, 12:38:38 AM »

i hate you, jesus
